About

Hi, I’m Gisela Voss, founder and creative director of Doodledo, a boutique design studio I started in 2001. I specialize in launching brands that captivate—and sell. I love helping entrepreneurs bring their concepts to life and to market.
My work spans multi-million-dollar brand and product development with retailers like Target and institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts–Boston. I’ve led end-to-end strategy, sourcing, prototyping and costing, naming, packaging, branding and voice, social media and PR, delivering over 50 national awards and $40MM in annual sales. I’ve created and launched brands such as B.Toys and collaborated with Parents Magazine, BrainChild, IQ Baby, Little Tikes, K’s Kids, and Our Generation, among others, while directing everything that brings a concept to market.
